Reader contributions to the Femulate Coffee Break! fund help cover the annual Flickr Pro fee that keeps alive a remarkable archive: more than 4,500 photos of womanless events collected by Starla Trimm from online high school yearbooks.
The collection spans nearly a century — from 1929 to the present — and features mostly womanless beauty pageants, Halloween festivities, gender-bender days, and stage productions. It’s an unexpectedly fascinating glimpse into a long-running tradition of school humor, performance, and social role reversal.
The photos are organized alphabetically into 26 albums by school name — A through Z (well, technically A through Y, since there’s no X album). There’s also an “Unknown Location” folder for the handful of images whose origins remain a mystery.
As you might expect with a collection this large, there are a few duplicate images scattered throughout the archive, and I’m slowly weeding those out over time.
Anyway, without further ado, click here to access the Yearbook albums.

Very deserving win for Harry Cannon as Miss Cutie Pie. I'm thinking it was not his first time dressing pretty!
